Abstract
A system described herein may provide a technique for selecting and configuring a capture component and a filtering and analysis component for traffic capture in a manner that suitably accounts for Service Level Agreements ('SLAs') of traffic to be captured. A traffic capture request may indicate one or more SLAs and/or other attributes, and an orchestration system may identify a network function (such as a User Plane Function ('UPF') of a wireless network) that handles traffic that includes the requested traffic and instantiate the capture component at a node that implements the network function. The orchestration system may select a node, from a cluster of nodes, that is able to filter and analyze the traffic in an expedient manner in accordance with SLA(s) associated with the requested traffic, and install the filtering and analysis component at the selected node.
